..........
I just ran into him last week at Burger King 25th st. Easton, Pa. He could not be any more of a nice guy with everyone. There was a mixed race of people waiting in line and he shook hands and said hi to everyone. Ordered some nuggets and walked out again saying good afternoon to everyone.
Racist? I say no way!
Tuff MF yes.
I say he is very under rated with 20 successful title defenses, victories over Earnie Shavers, Ken Norton, Muhammad Ali, Mike Weaver, Gerry Cooney, Tim Witherspoon, Carl Williams and Marvis Frazier thats a great resume. 48-0 just short of Marciano's record by one fight.

God built us differently, so we fight different . Larry would beat marcviuasno but rocky would have his moments.

Larry was a much better fighter overall than Marciano and if you look at who both of them fought its obvious who fought better competition. Larry
If you want to bring in a broken down ali, you cant forget Marciano's best wins are over past prime fighters. Moore and Walcott were closer to 40 than 35 and Charles was an ATG but his best weight was 175 and he started at 160. Louis was washed up and a shell of his former self.

All the work he put in and fighters he beat is waaaaaaaay better than Marciano. Marciano would have took an L having to face Ray Mercer, Norton, Shavers, Witherspoon, ETC.
When he was champ he didnt get much love because he followed Ali. I can understand why he'd be a little irritated because in his time he was underappreciated and Marciano was highly overrated and beloved
Lets be real....Marciano at 185 and 5'10" with a less than 70' reach wouldnt be able to compete with the greatest heavies era. He fought in a thin era dominated by former light heavyweights.
Ali, Holmes, Liston, Foreman, both Klitschko's, Frazier, etc slaughter the Rock.
